Hi

I had made a profile for GBP/USD looking at several timeframes with different indicators on different charts. It took a while to get everything the way I wanted but eventually I managed it. Then I wanted to do exactly the same for EUR/USD. Being lazy I did some investigation and found that the files which store Metatrader profiles are plain text.
I copied the whole profile to a new folder and then downloaded a batch search and replace tool called Text Crawler from http://www.digitalvolcano.co.uk/content/textcrawler and got it to do a Find and Replace, changing GBPUSD to EURUSD.
Hey Presto, I now have an exact duplicate of the layout and indicators for EUR/USD.

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the tip. Yes, the chart file which are placed in profile folders and have .chr extension (for example chart01.chr), can be edited easily and you can make a lot of changes on them :)
